Adding value to cell if word is in another cell
Hi,
I am trying to add a value to a column based on the below data. Could anyone help with a formula to calculate the following:
If a country name is listed in the column, I need to calculate 20% of the value in another column.If no country name is listed, I just need the original value to be displayed.
so effectively:
= column a (if no data showing in column d
= 20% of column a if data is showing in column d
Sorry if Im not explaining it correctly!

Hi Kerri,
Thank you for the forum question.
If I understand you right the If function should look like this:
=If(D2="",A2,A2*20%)
Please let me know if it is not what you want to do.
Kind regards

Hi Jens,
Thanks so much for the speedy reply. The calculates 20% of everything, however I'm only looking to calculate the 20% from certain values. Im probably not explaining it. I have an anonomised document, is it possible to forward it as I cant seem to screenshot a table here?
Thanks

Hi Kerri,
I am sorry that you had to wait for an answer.
When I answered your question I assumed that when you wrote "if no data showing in column d" that you meant the cell was blank, but I can see in your worksheet that you have a zero.
I am not sure based on you explanation if you want to add 20% or want to calculate 20% of the AC column.
If you want to calculate 20% of column AC use:
=IF(AE2=0,AC2,AC2*20%)
If you want to add 20%:
=IF(AE2=0,AC2,AC2*(1_20%))
I hope this is what you want. Please let me know if it is something else.
Kind regards
